Ingredients, colour-coded
What needs attention
- DoubtfulEmulsifier (source not stated)
The word "emulsifier" does not say which one is used. Several emulsifiers, including E471, are made from glycerol and fatty acids that can come from plants or animal fat, and the pack rarely says which. Doubtful unless the pack names a plant source, or shows a vegetarian, vegan or halal label.
- DoubtfulE471 · Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
One of the most common doubtful additives. Halal if the pack says plant/vegetable origin or is halal-certified or vegan.
- DoubtfulE481 · Sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate
Depends on the source of the stearic acid. Common in bread.
- DoubtfulE920 · L-cysteine
Halal if made by fermentation or from halal poultry feathers; the source is rarely stated. Found in some bread and bakery products.
